CDT offers a rigorous summer programming for dancers ages 12 and up (ITP B or above). Students are immersed in dance for five days from 9:30-3:30. This smaller summer program affords students the opportunity to make significant technical progress by studying intimately with international level faculty possessing decades of teaching experience and a long history of training future professionals.No audition is required, though space is limited.
Students from outside of CDT community will be placed by recommendation or age during the first week they attend as they are observed in class by faculty.
Early registration is encouraged.
